Sandy Koufax missed a World Series game for Yom Kippur.

The lesson here is obvious: the goyim's games are second fiddle to participation in bizarre supremacist rituals. You didn't see Kareem taking off the entire month of Ramadan, and those usually fall early in the season. I'll take my potsmoking jazz basketball Muslim over Koufax or Keri Strug (shudders involuntarily for five minutes before resumes typing).
